Can you decode RTTY signals?  If not, get that working as a first step.

Is the soundcard device selected in HRD the same one that is connected 
to the K3 Line-In and Line Out jacks?  The soundcard LINE OUT (or SPKR) 
should connect to the K3 LINE IN.
Do you have the computer soundcard output level sliders set to 75% or 
greater?
Set the MIC SEL in the K3 menu to LINEIN.
Adjust the K3 "MIC LEVEL" (actually the Line-in level) so you have 4 
bars solid with the 5th bar flashing on the ALC meter.
Turn on VOX and it should transmit.

I have Fred's book and have followed the steps with still no keying. I am using DM-780.  VOX is on, sound set correct (I think). Anyone have any idea of what I am missing? I would like to get this working for FD.
